Realtor Comments

Back on the market after the deal fell through at no fault of the seller. Looking for Victorian charm and bedrooms galore? Then this 2 story in Cambridge might be the right fit for you! With 6 bedrooms and 2 baths, there is plenty of space for the whole family. With original woodwork, pocket doors, stained glass windows, original wood burning fireplace (never used by current owner), a claw foot tub, and built-ins, this home speaks to those that enjoy the character that comes along with owning a home from this era. Enjoy sitting on your covered front porch, or on the 3 season porch at the rear of the home. The walk up attic provides plenty of extra storage space as well. Walk to downtown restaurants and stores, or even to the park less than 2 blocks away. This home is being sold as is, with seller making no repairs. All appliances and 4 window units stay with the home, but are not warranted.

Pros

Affordable housing: Home values are considerably below Illinois and national averages. Niche lists a median home value around $123,100, with most residents owning rather than renting.
Quiet, small-town atmosphere: It’s rural, low-density, and community-oriented. The village itself emphasizes its small-town character and community connections.
Generally good safety: Cambridge receives strong safety ratings from several livability sources, although very small populations can make crime statistics volatile.
Good option for families: Local public schools are rated relatively well, and Cambridge has both an elementary school and junior/senior high school.
Low traffic and easy pace of life: You’re unlikely to deal with the congestion and crowds found in larger Illinois cities.
Community events and parks: There are local parks, community facilities, and events throughout the year.
Some surprisingly good local businesses: For a town this size, there are several restaurants and gathering places, including El Barril Two Mexican Restaurant and The Spectrum Pub.

Cons

Very limited job market: Cambridge itself doesn’t have the breadth of employment opportunities you’d find in a larger city. Niche gives the local job category a B-.
Few amenities: Shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and specialized services are limited. For major shopping or more choices, you’ll probably be driving to another community.
Car-dependent: Public transportation is limited, and many amenities aren’t within convenient walking distance.
Not much nightlife: If you want clubs, concerts, lots of bars, or a wide restaurant scene, Cambridge will feel quiet.
Small-town limitations: A population around 2,000 means fewer doctors, specialists, stores, activities, and professional services nearby.
Cold Midwest winters: If you’re coming from California or another warm climate, the winters will be a substantial adjustment.
Less diversity: Cambridge is substantially less racially and culturally diverse than larger Illinois communities.
Slow growth: It’s not a rapidly developing town, which can be a positive for preserving its character but a negative if you’re looking for expanding amenities and career opportunities.
